Default Carbohydrates

I believe this article could help many of you that have questions about carbs.

Nutrition Notes By Theresa Stahl, RD, LDN
You may not really think of carbohydrates as brain food, but glucose, a simple form of carbohydrates, provides nearly all the energy your brain uses everyday.
Let's take a look at some carbohydrate basics:

• Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen - carbo meaning "carbon" and hydrate meaning "with water."

• Dietary carbohydrates include simple carbohydrates (the sugars) and complex carbohydrates (the starches and fibers).
Simple sugars include:
Monosaccharides - glucose, fructose (fruit sugar) and galactose

Disaccharides - sucrose (table sugar), lactose (milk sugar), and maltose.
Complex carbohydrates include polysaccharides, which are starches (grains, legumes, tubers such as potatoes) and fibers (cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins, gums, lignan, and mucilages such as guar and carageenan). Fibers are not digested by human digestive enzymes and don't provide calories.
The main role of carbohydrates in the diet is to supply energy. Carbohydrates are the best source to fuel muscles and promote healthy hearts.
Fiber helps lower blood cholesterol, prevents constipation, maintains a healthy digestive tract and provides a feeling of fullness, which is the most immediate benefit that helps prevent overeating.
Tips for choosing carbohydrates:
• Choose whole-grains, including whole grain breads, cereals, rice and pasta.

• Include five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables daily.

• Choose 1% or skim milk and low-fat milk products, such as yogurt, cottage cheese and cheeses.

• Eat more legumes, such as beans, peas and lentils.

• Limit sugars, such as table sugar, corn syrup and honey, which promote cavities and may displace needed nutrients and fiber and contribute to obesity.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I have applied to be on a new TV show. I can't say too much yet but as soon as I know, I will reveal all! I hope everyone will keep me in their prayers that I am accepted. It will be a great step for each and everyone of us here if so.

Thanks for the comments on the new picture. That is from Christmas. I will post a newer one soon.

Hello Shelly,

Long time no see... Thanks very much for the carb's info I enjoyed it but still consider them as my enemies!

Your new pic looks fabulous no wonder if you'd get accepted for the TV show you have such a photogenic face. I personally love to look at your gorgeous face.

You're in my prayers, you deserve all the best my dear friend.
Love,
Hanadi
